Having over 10 years experience in the hospitality industry, I understand completely the function of a well managed operation. I am a focused, driven, and dedicated individual. A proven leader, I have always exceeded expectations, objectives, and goals. I pride myself in my ability to create a productive vigorous working experience for all employees. I am a proven problem solver with quick, and correct, resolutions. I spent a year as a foreign exchange student in Lujan, Argentina. I am fluent in the Spanish language, which has proven invaluable in the current labor market. Award winning recipe development, civic involvement, innovative client development activities, I have proven my capacity to operate a profitable venture and look forward to new challenges.
